A West Volusia man is charged with committing unlawful sexual acts and not informing the victim he was HIV positive, according to a Volusia County sheriff's charging affidavit.

Edwin Antonio Flores-Solano was arrested Monday and charged after the victim told authorities he sexually abused her from when she was 17 years old to age 21, according to the report. The abuse started in 2008 while the victim, her family and Flores-Solano were living in New Jersey, the report said.

The abuse continued when the family moved to Deltona in May 2010 and again when they moved to DeBary one year later, according to the report.

When the victim started college in fall 2008, she would often go out to avoid seeing Flores-Solano at home, according to the report. Flores-Solano told the victim's mother she was “going out too much” and persuaded the mother to set an early curfew of 9:30 p.m.

The following year, the victim lived in a dormitory and avoided home, which frustrated Flores-Solano, according to the report. He threatened her that if she told anyone what he did she would not be able to go to college. Months later, the victim moved home after she could no longer afford the dorm.

When the victim found out Flores-Solano had a week off work starting Oct. 15, she told a friend she was worried about what would happen and her friend persuaded her to tell her mother, according to the report. The woman told her mother the day before Flores-Solano's week off started, but the mother took five days to inform authorities because she spent two days crying and not communicating with anyone before moving herself and the children out of the house.

Flores-Solano was diagnosed with HIV in February 2001, according to the report. The victim tested negative for HIV.

Flores-Solano is being held at the Volusia County Branch Jail on $25,000 bail, court records show. He is charged with the crimes starting when the family moved to Deltona.
